Wimbledon is now entering its latter stages, with the current focus on the quarter-finals at the All England Club.
WTA Tour number one Aryna Sabalenka remains in Wimbledon contention, as does ATP Tour number one Jannik Sinner.
But the tournament has been dominated this year by shock exits, which have involved the likes of British number one Jack Draper and French Open champion Coco Gauff.
John McEnroe criticised Draper after his shock second round loss, with British singles hopes now relying solely on Cam Norrie.
He takes on defending champion Carlos Alcaraz, who has beaten Novak Djokovic in the last two Wimbledon finals.
Jasmine Paolini splits with coach after shock Wimbledon exit
The last two finalists remain in the competition, but the same cannot be said of the 2024 WTA finalists Barbora Krejcikova and Jasmine Paolini.
And the latter has now split with her coach Marc Lopez following her shock second round exit, having finished as Wimbledon runner-up last year.
Sharing a message about the split, the Italian world number five wrote on her Instagram story: “Thank you, Marc. I want to say thank you to Marc Lopez for his help and support this season.
“We had some great results together, especially in Rome and Paris, and I will always remember those moments. I appreciate all the hard work and energy Marc gave every day.
“Now that this part of the season is over, I’ve decided to make a change. I’ve learned a lot and made good progress, and now I’m taking the time to reflect on what the next step will be. Thank you again, Marc, for everything. I wish you all the best in the future. Jasmine.”
What did Jasmine Paolini achieve under coach Marc Lopez?
Paolini made huge waves at Wimbledon last time out, when she became the first Italian woman in the Open Era to reach the final at SW19.
That arrived shortly after she reached the French Open final, which she lost to serial clay winner Iga Swiatek.
Another defeat was suffered against Krejcikova, who fell in the third round at the All England Club this year to Emma Navarro.
Paolini meanwhile lost 4-6, 6-4, 6-4 to Kamilla Rakhimova, with the Italian losing in the same round in doubles alongside Sara Errani.
And she has now decided to part ways with Lopez following her appearance in London, having started working with him in April.
Their partnership began after Paolini ended a 10-year partnership with Renzo Furlan, and involved the former winning the Italian Open singles title.
She also won the doubles title in Rome and indeed at the French Open, with Lopez having been a doubles specialist during his career.
The Spaniard, who won 14 doubles titles and reached number three in the world rankings, previously worked with Rafael Nadal.
